TOPIC: Adult Guitar Class #4

I explained how the scale is used to build chords and to play chord progressions in any given Key.

We next played each of the following chords and identified the bass note for each chord

G, C and D plus the A and E chords

We worked on strumming pattern and I explained how a strum can be used with alternating bass notes

You should work the following strums

Down
Down Up
Up

Finally, we discussed how to play the song Simple Gifts (which is available in TEF format in the Store's library) . See the post below on how to download the Tefview free program from the Tabledit website.

We also had a brief singing lesson, in which all the students sang happy birthday and we figured the key that each individual could sing in.

Here is a question for you to answer:

What are alternating bass notes and which strings are used for the G, C and D chords?
